G  
In my mind
                                             C  
In a future five years from now
             D  
I'm 120 pounds
                C  
And I never get hungover
                        G                                                            C  
Because I will be the picture of discipline
                                                  D  
Never minding what state I'm in
                  C  
And be someone I admire
                        D                                                                                      C  
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
                  D  
But it does not seem to have happened
                             C                                                      D  
Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
                                  C                                                                                                 G  
That I'm not exactly the person that I thought I'd be
                        G  
And in my mind
                                        C  
In the faraway here and now
                                                     D  
I've become in control somehow
                C  
And I never lose my wallet
                     G                                                              C  
Because I will be the picture of discipline
                                             D  
Never fucking up anything
                                     C  
And I'll be a good defensive driver
                        D                                                                                      C  
And it's funny how I imagined that I would be that person now
                  D  
But it does not seem to have happened
                             C                                                      D  
Maybe I've just forgotten how, to see
                          C                                                                                                      G  
That I'll never be the person that I thought I'd be
                        G  
And in my mind
                        C  
When I'm old, I am beautiful
                                                     D  
Planting tulips and vegetables
                                  C  
Which I will mindfully watch over
                                  G  
Not like me, now
                                             C  
I'm so busy with everything
                                                        D  
That I don't look at anything
                                             C  
But I'm sure I'll look when I am older
                        D                                                                                    C  
And it's funny how I imagine that I could be that person now
                                                          D                                                                                                            C  
But that's not what I want, if that's what I wanted then I'd be giving up somehow
                                        D                                                                            C                                                                            G  
How strange to see that I don't want to be the person that I want to be
                          G  
And in my mind
                                  C  
I imagine so many things
                                                                     D  
Things that aren't really happening
                                     C  
And when they put me in the ground,
                                                                G                                                            C  
I'll start pounding the lid,    Saying "I haven't finished yet ?
                                             D  
I still have a tattoo to get
                                        C  
That says 'I'm living in the moment'."
                        D                                                                                      C  
And it's funny how I imagined that I could win this winless fight
                                  D                                                                                            C  
But maybe it isn't all that funny that I've been fighting all my life
                                D                                                                            C  
But maybe I have to think it's funny if I wanna live before I die
                                     D                                                                              C  
And maybe it's funniest of all to think I'll die before I actually see
                          C                                                                                         G  
That I am exactly the person that I want to be
